In this episode, Kristina and Steph dive into three proven house hacking options: investing in a duplex/triplex/fourplex, buying a single-family home, or adding a tiny home to your property.

We'll guide you through each strategy, emphasizing how they can align with your personal values, such as privacy. Whether you're drawn to the idea of a "live-in flip" for profit or renting out spare rooms for added income, this episode offers insight to help you choose the path that resonates most with your goals and lifestyle.
